So you ask…what is a Pot Pal? I had that same thought as I opened a package from my friend Jason Klass’s Backpacking Flyfishing website. Out came a couple various bags/pouches in different sizes. The top is a sturdy fabric, the under side is a softer waffled fabric, similar to a kitchen towel. Each size/style [...]

A couple weeks ago when REI was having its last sale I noticed the MSR® Quick™ 2 System was on sale for around $70. While I really didn’t need the two plates and mugs it was the same price as just the MSR® Quick™ 2 Pot Set (minus the goodies). Last year I picked up [...]

Back in June of last year I had written a quick blog on To Go Ware’s RePEaT utensil sets. Yesterday I was out running errands and stopped into REI. I finally decided to pick up a set of the utensils, they had been calling me long enough. I got a set wrapped in a hot [...]

Steam baking is one of my favorite trail luxuries. For the past year or two I have been using Wilton Silly- Feet Silicone Baking Cups most often. I was poking around Amazon this morning and noticed a couple new styles to check out. I really like these and will be picking them up: Wilton Silly [...]

If there is one thing great about running a ‘cottage gear’ industry is being able to go off on a whim and create a new item in a matter of hours, days or weeks. A month or so ago I was out having lattes with Catzia and talking shop. We were lamenting over how we [...]

Earlier this month I had mentioned how I was searching for a new canister stove and today I had a chance to hit REI while out. Yes, I did go for the Snow Peak Giga after all. Hoping to get in some trial runs with it tomorrow! ~Sarah
